- Description
- The contributors to this volume focus on very different women, whose lives are linked through the experience of migration in and to New Zealand. Most moved from their homelands after the Second World War, many as single women in search of work. Some moved from north to south, from country to country, others moved from rural areas to town. Their stories are explored in a seeries of essays - some of which are life stories - that link global forces to local and individual experience.
